The ukulele is a great addition to the beach, along with your surf board or paddle board. Not only is the ukulele an affordable, portable, and versatile instrument, Kala also provides all the resources free online for you to learn to play. We want to make the ukulele as fun and simple as possible. Kala Ukulele was started in 2005, just as the trend in ukulele started to take off. We are now the most purchased and loved brand here in the U.S. and around the world. We have a ukulele for everyone at all levels of experience.
